The Reds are on course to record their highest ever Premiership points total and have been involved in a title race for the first time in years. Rafa Benitez has praised his squad for their efforts this season.

"I don't think people realise how important it is to keep the balance," said the boss.

"Because we are organised some people say we are not an attacking team. It's so clear we are an attacking team and a very good attacking team.

"I think it's always important to score goals, but to score 119 last year and now over 100 I think it's very good. It's not just the strikers as we have a lot of players who have scored for us.

"That is very good and it means the team has a very good offensive mentality and we still keep the balance and defend well. That is important for winning."
